Don't throw your poo bags into people's skips

I wish all dog owners were as sensible as you!

However, I feel a lot of the people who do this don’t put dog poo in their own bin either!

My brothers friends mum who lived on the posher street round the corner used to walk her dog in front of our house (on a less posh street) and look the other way while it pooed on the grass patch in front of ours. She didn’t pick it up, no one did back then - at least not in our area during the 90s.

I once caught her and absolutely glared at her. It was because of people like that most grassy patches were off limit in my area as a child since you’d inevitably stand on poo while playing tag or whatever. She would never have dreamed of doing that in her area/a similar street. That’s probably why she walked it through our area!

It’s illegal to put biological waste in a skip and you could get in big trouble for it with the waste controller so you need to get them out and dispose of the poo bags properly I’m afraid. Imagine the poor person at the skip company having to deal with that!

They are emptied, yes, but by a person who has to put their hands in, tie the bag up and then carry it through the car park to the compactor bin.

Poo of any sort was disgusting, especially because the bins were black and got hot in the summer.

A McDonald's bin is for rubbish generated from the purchase McDonald's products, not to dispose of personal items like nappies, dog shit and tampons. People should take that home to their own bins, not leave it for the employees to deal with.

I honestly wouldn't think twice about putting something in a bin in a McDonald's car park. I assumed they're just emptied like regular bins!

It’s not a bin! It doesn’t go to landfill. It gets sorted through by actual people who recycle as much of the contents as possible. Throwing dog shit in is disgusting and likely to make the contents unrecyclable.

Someone once walked up my path and put a bag of dog shit in my wheelie bin.

I was actually walking behind her, challenged her and made her take it out. Fucking cheeky mare.

Put your filthy dog shit in proper bins people.

Although the amount of dog shit on the pavement on my road alone makes me wish people bothered enough to even use someone else's skip / private bin.

Some people put them in my black bin when it's out in the road waiting to be emptied

Another thing re dog shit. If the dog poo bins are overflowing, don’t add to it. Take it to another bin!

There’s a dog poo bin between my home and parents. About 80% of the time this bin is overflowing with at least 6 bags on the lid and same again on the ground below.

I Report this on the Love Clean Streets app. Great app to report fly tipping, dead animals (badgers, foxes) etc

I’ve got two dogs, the largest is a 40kg greyhound cross. Sometimes I run with him and when he does a poo, I pick it up in a poo bag. Obviously I can’t run, holding a poo bag so it goes in my fucking pocket until I get to a proper bin or home.

Yes, it’s completely gross but that’s the shit that comes with dog ownership.

take your crap home and stop expecting other peoples bins/skips to be there for your convenience

I used to work for McDonald's and part of my job was emptying the car park bins.

It was utterly, utterly vile at times - dog shit, shitty nappies just chucked in, used pads/tampons, broken glass.

It all had to be compacted in the biffa bins and the stench sometimes was terrible!

We had this during a heatwave, made our whole front garden stink as well as being disgusting as we needed to get in the skip and move stuff around to fit it in etc. The culprit was picked up by next door's doorbell camera - same guy every day. I put a sign on the skip saying it was grim and we knew who they were... Stopped after that.

YANBU. If I wanted dog shit on my property, I'd get a dog.

And what if the bag leaks or something. As a non-dog owner, you're not looking out for it so wouldn't necessarily know what it was and wouldn't be taking precautions like wearing gloves.

That said, the people who don't bother picking it up and leave it around for small children to step in and scoot and bike through are worse. Scum of the earth. The bin thing, I'd just rank as bloody inconsiderate.

I doubt the people who did this will read this thread - isn't that who you should be aiming your disgust at?
Posting it on here is even less use than posting it on your local Facebook.

A skip is different to a bin. I don't really mind if someone sticks some bagged up dog poo in my normal bin - i'd rather they didn't, but if they do I don't really care that much.

A skip though is usually for building materials that are to be recycled - sometimes for cash. Having them stink and covered in shit is not therefore welcomed.

No it really isn't a 'bin' - a skip can stay outside a property for days or weeks (yes, the same one) much longer than a green/black/blue wheelie bin would be.

Take your dog's waste with you and put it into an actual bin at the park. You got the dog - this is one of the things that comes with dog ownership.

Oh and telling people to 'calm down' is immediately going to get their heckles up too!

No skip available so they leave it on top of my dustbin, in my dustbin but it's not unknown that they let their dog shit on the pavement or at the top of my steps, even underneath my motorcycle cover.

I would never put my dog's poo in anyone's bin/skip, I don't even put it in my own bin so I certainly wouldn't put it in anyone else's.

I'm fortunate to live in an area where there are lots of poo bins, my dog usually has one poo on the garden first thing in a morning before her walk so I bag it up and take it to a poo bin when I go we go for our walk.

It’s not a bin and more specifically it’s not a public bin it’s on private property. Most skips are sorted for recycling, think of the poor people having to sort through and there’s bags of (probably) split poo bags. Absolutely disgusting behaviour and so entitled, and I’m a dog owner and would be never do that.

Yuck. I have two dogs and would never put my dogs waste into someone's personal skip or bin. Or a business owned one. Unless it's a public bin the stuff comes home with me and is put in my bin.
@whyhavetheygotsomany that is disgusting.
@Anxiousheartbeat no you do not put it in another's bin even if out on bin day.
@coldcallerbaiter don't be ridiculous.
By the way any public bin (unless labelled for recycling) is ok for dog waste. It does not have to be a designated red bin.

Most skip contents now get recycled not put in landfill. I didn't know this til we had a skip.
I was similarly outraged when a dog walker put a poo bag in our skip.
Put a sign up saying not for dog poo?

I know the British have this thing of not reading signs.. What about a nice big sign tied to the metal fence with "the skip isn't a dog poo bin"

As a dog owner I wouldn’t do this but I do get why someone might think it’s ok because if you’ve never hired a skip you might not be aware. Hopefully posts like this will educate.
